In October 2016 Jo Watson hosted the very first `A Disorder for Everyone!' event in Birmingham, with psychologist Dr Lucy Johnstone, to explore (and explode) the culture of psychiatric diagnosis in mental health. To provide a space to continue the debate after the event, Jo also set up the now hugely popular and active Facebook group `Drop the Disorder!'.; Since then, they have delivered events in towns and cities across the UK, bringing together activists, survivors and professionals to debate psychiatric diagnosis. How and why does psychiatric diagnosis hold such power? What harm it can do? What are the alternatives to diagnosis, and how it can be positively challenged?; This book takes the themes, energy and passions of the AD4E events - bringing together many of the event speakers with others who have stories to tell and messages to share in the struggle to challenge diagnosis.; This is an essential book for everyone of us who looks beyond the labels.

This is a unique collection of poems written by and for people who have survived our mental health system and the diagnostic process that is used to categorise and treat mental and emotional distress. In October 2016, Jo Watson launched A Disorder for Everyone (AD4E) - an international campaign to challenge the culture of psychiatric diagnosis and the labelling of expressions of emotional distress as medical disorders. Since then hundreds of people have attended AD4E events all over the UK, and thousands have joined the campaign Facebook group 'Drop the Disorder!' What began as a shout of protest has become an international roar. Poetry has long been used to give voice to resistance and to drive change in all kinds of social movements, and it is a central aspect of this campaign as well. It has been at the heart of every AD4E event and, more recently, several online poetry events have brought together poets and poetry-lovers from across the globe under the Drop the Disorder! banner. We Are the Change-Makers is a collection of these and other poems that seek to describe the otherwise inexpressible and challenge the power of psychiatry that misrepresents and medicates what it does not understand.

Raising a small child and running your own business?This debut book from columnist, business blogger and copywriter, Jo Watson, aims to take a good look and a laugh at how both of those 'challenging yet rewarding' life choices of parenthood and self-employment are kind of the same thing, when you think about it.The tears and the tantrums... the frets and regrets... the countless times you tell yourself under your breath (whilst wiping backsides of metaphorical and/or literal nature) that it will get easier... It won't, but at least now you have a book by your side that will give you a bit of hope, humour and escapism in any situation where you start and end your days clearing up shit with your spreadsheets. Spreadshits. That would have been a good title, actually.This book also sneaks a peek at how your infant offspring would likely approach all of your commercial strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and ultimately make a much better job of running your business than you ever could. Not yet a parent or a business owner? Save yourself some hassle - Read this book first.Less SWOT Analysis, more TOT Analysis.

The culture of psychiatric diagnosis causes harm.It labels people in distress. It silences them. It takes away theirindividuality and agency. At its worst, it removes their human rights. It onlyasks, 'What's wrong with you?' and doesn't ask, 'What happened to you?' It fails to acknowledge the complexity of an individual's story and theirsocial context. This powerful follow-up to the first Drop the Disorder!book (PCCS Books, 2019) assembles 40 contributors who are challenging theculture of psychiatric diagnosis and disorder. They include high-profilenames such as 'V' (formerly known as Eve Ensler, author of The VaginaMonologues), child therapist Kate Silverton and Canadian physician GaborMate (TheMyth of Normal), leading researchers and writers, includingprofessors Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett (The Spirit Level) andJoanna Moncrieff; Robert Whitaker of madinamerica.com, and frontlinecampaigner Jacqui Dillon, alongside a host of other activists, service usersand refusers, poets, artists, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists and otherpractitioners and leaders in the mental health and homeless sectors who aretrying to do things differently in their own spheres. This book's message is 'dosomething', and its hard-hitting and inspiring chapters tell us whyand how.
